We consider the space of geodesic laminations on a surface, endowed with the Hausdorff metric d_H and with a variation of this metric called the d_log metric. We compute and/or estimate the Hausdorff dimensions of these two metrics. We also…

In this paper we study geodesics of left-invariant sub-Riemannian metrics on SO(3) and almost-Riemannian metrics on $S^2$. These structures are connected with each other, and it is possible to use information about one of them to obtain…

A Riemannian manifold is said to be uniformly secure if there is a finite number $s$ such that all geodesics connecting an arbitrary pair of points in the manifold can be blocked by $s$ point obstacles. We prove that the number of geodesics…

For arbitrary two probability measures on real d-space with given means and variances (covariance matrices), we provide lower bounds for their total variation distance. In the one-dimensional case, a tight bound is given.

We study Weil-Petersson (WP) geodesics with narrow end invariant and develop techniques to control length-functions and twist parameters along them and prescribe their itinerary in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces. This class of…

Geodesic balls in a simply connected space forms $\mathbb{S}^n$, $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ or $\mathbb{H}^{n}$ are distinguished manifolds for comparison in bounded Riemannian geometry. In this paper we show that they have the maximum possible…

We discuss the enumeration of planar graphs using bijections with suitably decorated trees, which allow for keeping track of the geodesic distances between faces of the graph. The corresponding generating functions obey non-linear recursion…

From the work of Phong and Sturm in 2007, for a polarised projective manifold and an ample test configuration, one can associate the geodesic ray of plurisubharmonic metrics on the polarising line bundle using the solution of the…

We give a universal upper bound for the total curvature of minimizing geodesic on a convex surface in the Euclidean space.

Algorithms for the computation of the forward and inverse geodesic problems for an ellipsoid of revolution are derived. These are accurate to better than 15 nm when applied to the terrestrial ellipsoids. The solutions of other problems…

We consider random walks on the cone of $m \times m$ positive definite matrices, where the underlying random matrices have orthogonally invariant distributions on the cone and the Riemannian metric is the measure of distance on the cone. By…

We analyze a variational time discretization of geodesic calculus on finite- and certain classes of infinite-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. We investigate the fundamental properties of discrete geodesics, the associated discrete…

In this article, we prove a generalization of our previous result in [12]. In particular, we show that for an $n$-dimensional, simply connected Riemannian manifold with diameter $D$ and volume $V$. Suppose that $M$ admits a good cover…

For non-reversible Finsler metrics of positive flag curvature on spheres and projective spaces we present results about the number and the length of closed geodesics and about their stability properties.

The regularity of monotone transport maps plays an important role in several applications to PDE and geometry. Unfortunately, the classical statements on this subject are restricted to the case when the measures are compactly supported. In…

Let $g$ be a Riemannian metric for $\mathbf{R}^d$ ($d\geq 3$) which differs from the Euclidean metric only in a smooth and strictly convex bounded domain $M$. The lens rigidity problem is concerned with recovering the metric $g$ inside $M$…

We prove a quantitative estimate, with a power saving error term, for the number of simple closed geodesics of length at most $L$ on a compact surface equipped with a Riemannian metric of negative curvature. The proof relies on the…

Our aim in this paper is to construct a numerical algorithm using Taylor expansion of exponential map to find geodesic joining two points on a 2-dimensional surface for which a Riemannian metric is defined

New perspective form of equations for geodesic lines in Riemann Geometry was found. This method is based on the use of differential forms in differential equations as arguments of differentiation. At that, these forms do not have a…

The geodesic deviation equation, describing the relative accelerations of nearby particles, and the Raychaudhury equation, giving the evolution of the kinematical quantities associated with deformations (expansion, shear and rotation) are…
